Chapter 190: Venturing into the Palace (3) (2/2)

Chu Lian bobbed towards Prince Jin, as thanks for his… compliment.

“If Prince Jin doesn’t have any business with this one, this one will continue guiding Honoured Lady Jinyi,” Eunuch Sun said respectfully.

Chu Lian was about to turn and leave, when Prince Jin suddenly drew closer and shot Eunuch Sun a look. Eunuch Sun quickly lowered his head and retreated a few steps, waiting at the side.

Prince Jin was about as tall as He Changdi, so when he stood in front of Chu Lian, it was as if there was a huge ominous cloud before her.

Prince Jin looked down at her without any sort of expression of his face. Although his tone was calm, his words made Chu Lian stiffen up for a brief moment.

“Jinyi, since you helped this prince, you’re likely a smart one inside. This prince advises you not to act beyond your means. Even if you have the desire to, you should think twice and measure the consequences in your heart first. Think thrice before you decide to do anything.”

There’s no need for Prince Jin to trouble yourself over me!”

When she was done, she turned and ran, stunning Prince Jin for a moment.

Eunuch Sun found the whole situation a little awkward. After bowing in farewell to Prince Jin, he chased after her, shouting, “Honoured Lady, please walk a little slower. That’s the wrong way, the hall isn’t that way!”

Chu Lian could only turn to run in the right direction- however, who could have expected the floor to be so slippery? She was moving too fast, and the court dress had way too many layers. She accidentally stepped on the hem of her dress and fell to the floor…
